Author Bio

Chris Bridges is an alumni of the 2022 London Writers Award.

He previously wrote a weekly column for an LGBTQ+ lifestyle website and was a theatre reviewer for various sites.

As a former NHS nurse with a hidden disability, he likes to feature the untold stories of sick, dying, and disabled people in his work and smash the trope of the passive disabled character with a background role.

Chris lives in South London. He is fanatical about crime fiction. When not writing, he can be found reading compulsively or walking his uptight poodle, Frida Kahlo.

Sick to Death is Chris' debut novel, published by Avon, an imprint of HarperCollins.
